Topping the list was the view of Llyn Llydaw from the top of Mount Snowdon in North Wales.

The study was commissioned by Samsung to mark the upcoming launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S8.

They sent Landscape Photographer of the Year Matthew Cattel all over the UK to shoot some amazing images at the places named in the study.

Completing the top three is the Scottish Highlands and Stonehenge.

Mr Cattell said: "The Galaxy S8 has the most evolved smartphone camera in the world today creating impressively sharp pictures, even in low light conditions – which is just as well as we encountered a fair few spring showers and grey days whilst shooting the project.

"I hope people enjoy the results and are encouraged to get out and shoot the amazing views closest to them."

St Ives Bay came in at number four on the list.

Other local locations on the list include Durdle Door and Bournemouth Pier.

Landscape Photographer of the Year Matthew Cattell shares his top five tips for shooting landscape views:

1. Look for a focal point – focal points are important to hold the viewers' attention. It might be something physical such as an interesting landscape feature, local landmark or building. Alternatively, could be more abstract such as the texture of a surface or the way that light plays across a scene.

2. Think about your foreground and 'lead in' lines – consider the scene as having a foreground, middle ground and a background; including something interesting in the foreground which relates to the wider scene helps to give your photograph greater depth. Foregrounds can also be used to lead the viewers' eye into the photograph. Known as 'lead in' lines, these features are often linear (think wall, fence line, path) and work best when positioned moving diagonally across the frame.

3. Best time to take photos - The best times of day are the hours around sunrise and sunset, when shadows are deep and the light is warm. Photographers call this period just after sunrise and before sunset the 'Golden Hours'.

4. How much sky to include - Imagine dividing a photograph up into three equal rows. Compositionally, it is better to place the horizon on either the upper or lower third, rather than through the centre of the frame. The amount of sky to include is then entirely dependent on the quality of the sky; if the sky is bland look to minimise it, or exclude it from the frame entirely.

5. Additional equipment to consider –

A tripod and mount help to keep the smartphone steady, to fine–tune compositions and use long exposure times.

A Bluetooth shutter release – Pressing the screen to take a photograph will cause the camera to shake and this can result in blurry photographs. Using a Bluetooth shutter release (or the smartphone's self-timer) eliminates this problem.

Filters - If you want to get creative with your photography then it is worth investing in a set of filters, which clip over your smartphone's lens. Use a circular polarising filter to remove reflections and give blue skies a punch, or an ND filter, which reduce the amount of light getting into the camera and have the effect of lengthening shutter times, allowing the camera to record the passage of time.
